Series editor John Farren writes:
Michael Palin's Great Uncle Harry died at the Somme. Like so many families, his was scarred by the "war to end all wars". We asked Michael to go on a journey through the last hours, and tell the sad and shocking stories of the last men to die, as the clock ticked down towards peace. It's a personal journey and a film that I am very proud of.
